Arrest, incarceration, depression and suicidal thoughts are not the makings of a Best Week. But being able to reflect on the problems of the past while striving to become a role model for those still going through them? That’s the good stuff. Even though Tyrann Mathieu’s rookie season ended with a nasty knee injury, everything is looking up for the defensive back that a bunch of assholes deemed undraftable.

Mathieu’s story is a lot like that of this pig that jumped out of a moving truck on its way to the slaughterhouse (presumably).

OK, not really, I just love this fucking pig. Granted, I also love pig meat. I’m so conflicted. I just hope he didn’t break his collarbone. Or damage his delicious collar meat.

Worst Week goes to the unfortunate executives at HBO who have to try extra hard to make the Falcons look interesting if they want anyone actually watch Hard Knocks. The Falcons! This is what happens when you air a show for nine season. You eventually get stuck with the football equivalent of two scoops of vanilla ice cream with carob chips. The folks at NFL.com are trying their best to make this look like a big win for their network partner, going so far as to offering up seven reasons to watch this year’s show.

1. A franchise trying to rebound

Remember how hard they sucked last year?

2. Roddy White

OK, I’ll give you that one. Roddy will probably say something worthwhile at some point.

3. Bryan Cox and Mike Tice

We’re only at number three and you’re already dipping into the assistant coaching well? I’d rather sit through another episode of 24/7 with Andre Ward and Chad Dawson than watch Mike Tice chew on his pencil during an interminable coaches meeting.

In a nod to the World Cup, (I’m into this soccer tournament right now; you probably haven’t heard of it), I would submit that Japanese fella who ref’d the Brazil game as having the Best Week. Even though that’s probably the last game he’ll work that fucker’s the unofficial mayor of Rio, at least until Brazil’s next game.

Fuck you Atlanta! Where apparently your city motto is “That’s Not My Job!”. I can’t wait to watch Hard Knocks the that is if you can find anyone willing to hold a camera to film anyone without calling in the DOL to complain about not being paid for the time they spent driving to work. You have to physically bribe people to do their job in Atlanta… on top of their hourly wage. And people just sit there and they fucking take it… “LOL thats just how Atlanta is, it’s part of its charm!” Yeah Atlanta is as fucking charming as something that isthe exact opposite of charming.

Some may say “oh so your calling Atlanta Peter King?” NOPE Peter King is as charming as Boston; they are both bloated, self important, pompous, ass clowns who are so far up Tom Bradys ass they would be the first people to know if he got a hemorrhoid. No, Atlanta is Mike Tice. They both have some name value, an impressive resume on paper, but for the life of you cannot see an ounce of competence or reason why anyone thinks highly of them at all .
